Sensor Interface is coded and working

A project log for WIFI Interface Board

This board allows experimenting with a WIFI link on a general purpose MCU.

I used a serial interfaced sensor for the initial usage on this board. The sensor code was module tested using a desktop Linux box to get the sensor data parsing running correctly. That code was moved over to the embedded environment for the Atmel MCU and the front end ported to the I/O drivers in this project. Completing this code revealed a shortcoming (OK, bug) in the radio manager code which I fixed. The radio manager code is working well enough to consider for initial deployment on this project.

The next step is to build a case for and install it for real testing.

As is common on projects that run this long, I found that ST has released another version of the WIFI module that has the SMPT code built in. It uses a different footprint, so a board change would be required to run it and some code changes would be required. I think that I am going to work with what I have already for a while before I consider a board revision.
